[SalesForce] LWC Add Contact via lookup component

If you use the out of the box lookup field via the Page Layout in Salesforce the agents have a choice to add a contact. Now that we moved over to an LWC they no longer have that functionality. Does anyone have any idea we can allow users to add contacts via the LWC lookup component?

HTML:

                <lightning-input-field field-name="ContactId" required>
                </lightning-input-field>

LWC

Out of the box Page Layout

it is kind of limitation in Lightning Data Service. You cannot get it. You have to rely on a custom lookup field which allows you to do so. You need to pass the selected record id during onsubmit event.

You need to set the LWC's public property recordId from the aura component. Change your aura component to

[SalesForce] Show parent field in LWC

[Wire service] always return object with properties data and error. Initially, it returns with both undefined and so if you dont put conditions then you will get errors as you cant access Name of undefined. You can implement as below:

@wire(getCaseDetails, { caseId: '$recordId' })
consList({ data, error }) {
    if (data) {
        this.realCase = { ...data };
        this.accountName = this.realCase.Account.Name; //tried this but it isn't working
    } else if (error) {
        // handle error
        console.error('ERROR => ', error);
    }
}
